The embarrassing truth (for me) is that I haven't been able to figure out how to access the Calibre server using my Android browser. I was able to do it from my Kindle by entering 192.168.1.5:8080 (with the IP address of course being the IP of my computer that's running Calibre). It works wonderfully, and I can now download any book I have in Calibre to my Kindle without having to sideload via USB -- and, most importantly, it preserves the 'last page read' feature (which emailing didn't do). I tried doing the same thing with my Android browser, and it told me that it was an invalid URL.
Can someone explain how to do it on Android without using the app? And I'm fine with having there be an app for things people may not want to learn to do themselves, but I do certainly appreciate the other posters pointing out that there's a free way to do it too.
